“Shane’s catered our event and it was a hit! Great tasting food and definitely get your bang for your buck! Fresh and tasty and loved by all. The staff could not be more friendly and are appreciative of your business. Will definitely continue to stop in for a meal and use them in the future for any catered events. Go check them out!“

“I forgot about this place, but now I'm back. Grabbed the Wednesday special, which was pretty good, I asked the waitress if it was white or dark meat. She informed me it was white, she was wrong. My mechanic scored from that. We did go back Thursday, I got the hotdog on french with homemade chili. Food is good, and the seasoning was good. We will be regulars!“

“Amazing food! Hip vibe! Avacado toast was the best!!“

“We were blown away on our first visit this morning!! Ryan is a talented mixologist in the bar creating beautiful, delicious and truly unique drinks. Our server Louis was incredibly charming and attentive, giving us excellent menu choices —as it was a hard decision. Every dish was a work of art—both in presentation and flavor. The whole experience was top-notch, and we can’t wait to come back!“

“Food is usually great- this time all 6 of our entrees were cold to luke warm, not hot at all! Very disappointing! Crawfish Delacroix is not worth 27.00, not at all!! Gave us free dessert and half off our drinks- should have gave us half off the bill!!“

“OMG, I love this place. Their food is amazing. The customer service is top notch. This is the best place to get wing on the Westbank.

Top Notch service ya’ll!!!

Parking: .

Kid-friendliness: My kids loves their food!“

“Food was amazing. Service was top notch! Shaira was our server. She did an amazing job. Definitely would come back!“

“We were recommended to Elizabeth’s by a friend and thankfully we went early in our visit to New Orleans, because we ate breakfast here every day of our trip! From the incredible food, one of the best spicy margaritas, and their welcoming, friendly, staff. Thank you for the great meals and memories!“

“Great food reasonably priced. Much better than some of the better known and prettier places we’ve eaten at in Nola. We had the super dome and Benson Boogie. We will be back!“

“Cafe Sbisa is kind of a little hole in the wall on Decatur but has the absolutely best Sunday jazz brunch. It’s not super fancy and has great mimosa deals, great food and great music.“

“My son and I had the absolute pleasure of eating supper at the Mosquito supper Club last night. We drove from Pensacola Florida and it was so absolutely divine. I am originally from Mississippi and my entire life I have eaten gulf coast seafood. Best gumbo, ceviche was amazing, crabs claws yum. Tomato and cucumber salad with croutons. I cannot remember the names of everything. Potato salad with so good with a dash of hot sausage and in the gumbo I have never heard of doing it this way. We chose communal seating and enjoyed talking to everyone at our table. The ambiance of the mismatched vintage silver ware. The beautifully aged house with its milk glass lighting and copper ceiling medallions and aged plaster walls. It was such beautiful experience. The buttermilk ice cream with fig sorbet. Yum.“

“I’ve been to Etoile twice now and I am impressed by the amazing food, the tasting menu concept, and the careful and intelligent wine pairings with each course. The wine is not “round up the usual suspects” (Casablanca, 1942). The service is polite, friendly, and discreet. Etoile is also sensitive to food allergies and with enough advance notice (48 hours) will do its best to be flexible. This would be a Michelin 1 or 2 star restaurant when New Orleans gets star ratings. It’s as good as any restaurant in Manhattan, London, or Paris that costs 2 to 3 times more.
The decor is beautiful and understated in a large Victorian/Edwardian house. There is nothing “cold” about it as one reviewer alleged. I can be harsh critic of restaurants but I am at a loss to find anything that is not worth a 5 star review.“

“Stopped in after church and was pleasantly surprised. Ate at the bar and was waited on immediately. Food was excellent. My husband said that I was judging him because he didn’t have a crumb left!??“

“Great food, Great atmosphere, 10/10 would recommend!!!“

“Consistently delicious!! We make sure to always bring out of town guests here too!! It’s a definite New Orleans must eat!!! Love this place!“

“Oysters and pita/crab dip were delicious! Service was a little rough. My husband got his oysters before I got my meal- he had that and his drink finished before I received my food. We tried to be patient because they were somewhat busy, but watched our server take off her apron and leave before ever coming back to our table after drop off. We had 2 other waiters and what looked like management walk by several times, and even though I tried to get their attention, never looked our way or stopped. Finally made eye contact with a gal working closer to the front who came over and was very sweet, apologizing as our waitress had just quit. She brought out my food that'd been sitting there for quite a while, so the muffalettas weren't great, coleslaw warm. She never came back or reassigned someone to us, no one checked on us for drink refills, etc. Had to flag her down to place another food and drink order, again because no one else was helping us. After that, zero service, no one stopped at our table to check on us, and nothing 'taken care of' for the mishap. We came at a time where we were able to see the end of one band and start of a new- both fantastic, so that was good. Would recommend based on food and music, maybe not so much service.“

“my husband and I enjoyed our time“

“My favorite Poboys in New Orleans!“

“Good choices for breakfast that are affordable.“

“Great atmosphere and food.“

“Food is very good, well seasoned, with chunks of ham and pork, sausage, plenty enough food to fill you up. I had the every monday southern meal, red beans and rice, with a smoothered porkchop, and a side of french bread. Taste was good, price was below 15 dollars with tax, and more than enough food on the plate to have it to go! The area is not great, but its close to alot of bussinesses and close to St Charles ave. Over all, i will be back to try other hot food plates they will have later on. Their AC might not work well, but hopefully they ll fix it soon, bc these dog days of summer is pretty brutal.“

“Best chicken ever!“

“Amazing food and staff! love the atmosphere and laid back vibe. perfect place to stop in for a to go drink or sit and have a full meal! Definitely check it out if you are in NOLA! Pet friendly and kid friendly!“

“The Red beans are soulful. Tastes like they are made from scratch and not a blue runner can. Also there’s this hot sausage and shrimp on bun that makes me wonder how’d you put these two things together but it works. The hotline warmers concern me since it’s outdated, but I’m sure if you put your hand on it you melt your fingerprints.“

“The food was absolutely amazing! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The portions were generous, and you can really tell they put love into every dish. From the first bite to the last, I was impressed. The seasoning was just right, and nothing felt rushed or underdone. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending this spot to others. Great food, great experience“

“I used this restaurant to cater my department’s team meeting and they absolutely delivered in every aspect - delicious food, great service, and an overall wonderful, easy experience! This is hands down some of the best food I’ve had in this area and would recommend it to anyone for their catering and/or dining needs! Cannot wait to go back to try out the rest of their fantastic menu!“

“I loved the view at the hotel not to mention the classiness of the staff and hotel it's self, it was memorable for sure. The attention that put into the decorations made for great pictures as well as the ballrooms we rented out!!! Kick off to our book signing was amazing ?“

“The food was off the charts! Beautiful presentation and even more incredible flavors. I couldn't put the cornbread dressing down! Must try...and then try some more again!“

“Spent my birthday here in May. What a way to celebrate! I felt like royalty. The food and service were equally matched 10/10. The portion size was perfect and the drinks were amazing. Valet was also great. I will be visiting again.“

“It’s dark, it’s cool, and they’ll play 60’s/70’s rock gems as the house music. The food is pretty good too. This is my favorite spot I’ve found after several years living in The Quarter. The vibe is perfect. Its the darkness and the music that really makes me not want to leave. It’s rock’n’roll without being a dive. Oh yeah, did I say the food is pretty good too?“

“Excellent experience. Highly recommend. We tried almost half the menu, drinks and desserts included. Great all around.“

“Great vibes friendly and loving staff and the owner is outstanding“

“Delish! Love the cornbread!“

“We had a wonderful time here. The restaurant staff was entertaining and friendly. Loved the live music singing. We had the opportunity to meet Nate, the executive chef and he just exemplified southern hospitality. He took time to explain their experience with the Kitchen Nightmares show. Honestly, of all the restaurants we ate at during our vacation, this was the best! This place is NOT a kitchen nightmare! It is a classy eatery, well-appointed with decor and a welcoming ambiance. Great shout out to the owners! We recognized Bonnie from the show as she walked by but we didn’t want to bother her as she looked pretty busy.“

“Great food and service. This was our first eating experience in New Orleans. Gallier’s set the bar high. We enjoyed the red snapper and seafood platter for lunch.“

“I’m a local who has dined at many N.O. restaurants and Cafe Amelie is my favorite. Charming atmosphere and THE BEST food and drinks!“

“Wild South is the best place to enjoy a cozy, delicious meal focused on Southern cuisine.
We went on a Wednesday night the week before Christmas, so it was slower than normal, which allowed us to sit at the chef's table and get unfettered attention from the staff and chefs. We ordered the 5 course prefix menu, and everything came perfectly timed, and perfectly portioned, to the point where we left satisfied but not overly full. I paired this with their Sherry flight, which allowed me to experience a wide range of styles they have to offer.
The first course was an escabeche-esque snapper, eaten in a rice cracker. The second course was an ode to New England style chowder. Both items were not listed on the menu at the time.
We were interrupted by an intermezzo of uni and trout roe topped chicken schnitzel bites, followed by the vegetable course of broccolini, carrots and peppers, topped with a pumpkin XO sauce, and goat creme fraiche.
The main course was a brined and one-week dry-aged pork chop, with radicchio and sweet potatoes.
Pre-dessert was a refreshing scoop of strawberry sorbet, and dessert was a nod to chocolate mint ice cream, but with merengue and toasted sesame, along with Creole cream cheese custard with strawberries and poached carrots.
Overall we had an amazing time, enjoying our camaraderie with the chefs and staff, and would highly recommend going back and enjoying a meal with friends. We will definitely be back when we return to New Orleans.“

“This place really left a lasting impression. From the hostess, our server, the bathrooms, food, price point, time we spent. Everything was on point. We had oysters, gumbo, bisque, redfish, and house salad. Everything was divine!!! Keep up the good work! Also loved that it was so very clean.“

“Here for Mardi Gras, staff is phenomenal. True southern hospitality! & We love Sabrina the bartender!“

“Me and my wife went for dinner and it was an excellent experience. Waitress was very kind to us and our grandchild. I would definitely go there again and make this a regular dining spot on my list. If you have a chance to go check it out you should go you won’t regret it.“

“Highly recommend the Coolinary menu…2 weeks left. Delicious & creative redfish dish, shrimp bisque, & pecan pie. Service was also perfect. Can’t wait to dine there again!“

“Their mission is outstanding!The positive vibe, attentive and friendly service, and delicious food were a highlight of our NOLA visit! Give yourself the gift of a meal, or two, or three!“

“Absolutely Amazing! One of my favorite places“

“I love this Venue. I got to see many up and coming bands performing their way by thru the New Orleans "HOB's" Like for instance, Maroon 5, Evanescence, HIM just to name a few. love, love, love this Venue.“

“The staff at Lula were wonderful! Went to look at the accommodations for a rehearsal dinner. The staff showed us the Barrel Room and explained the setup for the amount of guest expected. They are very accommodating for your needs. Lunch was delicious! Shrimp and grits and Fried pickled mirlitons with a poblano dipping sauce were a hit. Our server, Jalen was the best! Definitely a place to visit in NOLA.“

“Today was our first time having food from here. We ordered via Uber Eats. Everything was absolutely delicious! my kids and I were beyond satisfied. The portions were plentiful, allowing our family food for tomorrow as well.“
